What do the coloured triangles displayed on an Access Window mean?

If a value is either controlled or referenced by a control unit in SysCAD, then a coloured triangle will be displayed next to the tag in the Access Window. If the triangle is directed INTO the value, >, and it is either blue, magenta or red, then the value is being controlled, or Set, by a controller. In this case, the user cannot set the value manually, as it will be overwritten by the controller. If the triangle is directed OUT of the value, <, and it is green, then the value is referenced, or measured, by a control unit. The user may right click on the value and the pop-up menu will display the tag of the control unit that is referencing the value. The user can then navigate to the control unit, if required.
